[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Regarding the word "duology"

Please see and respond at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Regarding_the_word_.22duology.22. Dcoetzee 05:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] GA reassessment of Persian literature

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found a large number of concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Persian literature/GA1. I have de-listed the article and when the concerns have been addressed it can be renominated at WP:GAN. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Character (arts)#Gathering material on character into one article

Other thoughts are needed on this matter. I especially encourage editors here involved in topics relating to this to weigh in on it. I fully expect some to disagree with me on this matter and am not simply looking for people to agree, but also consensus. Two editors by themselves going back and forth on this -- whether the article is best titled Fictional character or Character (arts), or whether we should have articles with both of these titles -- is not going to solve anything.

[edit] Fernando Pessoa needs your help

Our article on Fernando Pessoa ("The critic Harold Bloom referred to him in the book The Western Canon as the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda") is IMHO not in very good shape.
Article has been tagged "This article is written like a personal reflection or essay and may require cleanup" since December 2007.
Article is also pretty light on cites, and some of the cites seem to fail WP:RELIABLE -- there's also a cite to another Wikipedia article, which as I understand it is something that we don't do.
There seem to have been some edit wars a few years back, with one post "The original article was replaced a short time ago with a highly POV essay that seems to be a copy of a review posted at Amazon.com." -- I don't know whether the existing article is a descendent of this one or not.
Thanks -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 12:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Book cover guidelines

Someone said here Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#Manga_covers_-_English_or_Japanese.3F that, for originally non-English works of literature, one ought to use the first edition foreign book cover instead of the English book cover, while The General in His Labyrinth, a featured article, uses the English cover. Which one is preferred? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Would someone mind reviewing a new article for me?

Hello

Can someone take a critical look at the following article for me?

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veracity_(novel) 

I just recently made some final edits and additions and would very much appreciate your input so that this article remains live and posted. This book is due to be released in Jan 2010 and I would appreciate any help in making this a great wiki entry. In particular I'm looking for guidance on references and citations (I'm new to wiki as a contributor). Please also let me know actions I can take to make sure this article does not get deleted. Thanks. Sincerely, Eric Bynum Eric f bynum (talk) 18:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Relevant AfD

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/101 People Who Are Really Screwing America. Cirt (talk) 06:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Input at the Human disguise article's AfD would also be helpful. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:35, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Word games and Word play?

What projects or subprojects would these come under, if any? Шизомби (talk) 21:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Merge discussion

There's been a suggestion that Menippean satire and Menippeah be either merged or more clearly distinguished. There's also an orphan article, Mennipea, that needs addressing. Any input, advice and/or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks! Aristophanes68 (talk) 02:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review for book Help at Any Cost

I put the article about the book Help at Any Cost up for peer review. Input would be appreciated, at Wikipedia:Peer review/Help at Any Cost/archive1. Cirt (talk) 00:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
